Jean-Luc Godard said that cinema is the truth 24 frames a second. I think cinema is lies 24 frames a second.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Truth is quite constricting, in a way. You endlessly see at the start of a film 'This is a true story'.
I didn't want people to sit there and watch 10 minutes of film,and all they write about is 48 frames.
If you can't believe a little in what you see on the screen, it's not worth wasting your time on cinema.
A picture story just doesn't run like a film. It doesn't have 24 frames per second. It doesn't deal with this illusion of movement.
Cinema at its best can express something of the pure irreducible fact of things.
48 frames per second is something you have to get used to. I've got absolute belief and faith in 48 frames... it's something that could have ramifications for the entire industry. 'The Hobbit' really is the test of that.
Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.
A feature film is twenty-four lies per second.
I have no opinion on 48 frames a second at all. I'd be completely unsuitable to talk about that.
Photography is truth. The cinema is truth twenty-four times per second.
